Better than the Hunger Games by Glen P

When creating fictional books one would have to make sure it maintains most of the following; a thrilling and adventurous theme, has to be descriptive and vivid, creates character, emotionally involves the reader and overall introduces a whole new world to the reader. Article 5 fulfills all of these attributes and many more.

The story follows our 16 year old main protagonist Ember Miller as she lives her life with her mother and her sister Beth after the events of a massive war which turns the land of the free into a land of suffering. After this war The United States government became corrupted and had replaced the Bill of Rights with the Moral Statutes and creates the Moral Militia in an attempt to cleanse the country and reform it into a perfect image, but they end up doing the opposite. The book right away in the first chapter gives off only a fraction of what the rest of the book has to offer, love, action, suspense, almost everything you could think of. The first chapter also sets the tone very well for the rest of the book as the author Kristen Simmons gives you all the answers however she does it in such a way that the reader has to experience the entire story to piece it all together.

The book as a whole is descriptive and follows how Ember plans to see her mother again as she is taken away by the Moral Militia because she has broken Article 5 of the Moral Statutes and that's not even scratching the surface. The story is adventurous, intriguing and hooks the reader from the beginning. I would recommend this book to everybody because the book always had me wondering what would happen next as there never was never a dull moment in this book. I can easily say this is one of my top 3 favorite books and I can't wait to read the next one in the series.
